Chapter 35 The Return Visit Incident 2

Night fell.

"Your Highness, today is the important day of your return to your parents' home, and we have made careful preparations—"

Before Liu could finish speaking, Qinghuai leaned close to Gu Liang's ear and whispered a few words.

Gu Liang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

"Father-in-law, I have other important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."

"I'll go back tomorrow, my husband, don't worry," Jiang Zhishan said understandingly.

Gu Liang raised an eyebrow.

Jiang Zhi smiled and saw Gu Liang off.

Jiang Zhigang had only been back in his courtyard for a short time, and before he could even sit down, Lu Nianqiu's maid rushed over, crying.

"Young Miss, you should go to the courtyard quickly. The young master has returned and is arguing with you."

Jiang Zhi smiled. She hadn't had time to deal with her older brother, Jiang Shuyue, and now he was back.

She reached out to comfort her, saying, "Don't worry."

"Dad, do you know?"

The maid sobbed, "The Marquis didn't know that the eldest young master had returned."

"Miss Biao, out of consideration for the eldest young master's reputation, did not tell the Marquis about the eldest young master's affairs."

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath. Her father needed to know about this, otherwise things would get complicated.

"Go and call your father over first. We still need to tell him about this."

“But…” the maid hesitated.

"You think you can just go because I tell you to? Or do you expect your brother to cause trouble at your cousin's place?"

The maid nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Jiang Zhi took Wu Shi and went to the courtyard.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, a noisy, angry male voice came from Lu Nianqiu's room.

Jiang Zhi could still faintly hear Lu Nianqiu's rebuttal.

"Jiang Shuyue, you stole your aunt's shop deed. Did you ever think that it was left to me and Zhizhi by your aunt?!"

"Besides, you've already squandered your aunt's dowry, what more do you want!"

Jiang Shuyue's face was full of displeasure, and he suddenly slammed his fist on the table.

"What do you mean by this? Who told you that I gave my mother's dowry to someone else?"

"Don't listen to others trying to sow discord. How could I possibly give my mother's dowry to another woman?"

"I just needed it urgently."

"Besides, this dowry of our mother was left to me and Jiang Zhi, so it has nothing to do with you, right?"

As Jiang Shuyue's angry voice fell, Jiang Zhi walked in from outside the door with a livid face.

Upon seeing Jiang Zhi, Jiang Shuyue's expression softened slightly.

He feigned calmness and asked, "What wind has blown our Princess Liang here?"

"Sister, have you come here to stop your brother as well?"

Jiang Zhi slowly walked into the room, looked at Jiang Shuyue without changing his expression, and said coldly, "Brother, you've gone crazy enough."

"Your legs are still nimble, right?"

"You also want us to be buried with you?"

"Or is it that you were spoiled by Madam Liu in the past, and are capable of doing anything shameless?"

Jiang Shuyue's eyes were bloodshot.

"Jiang Zhi!"

"What do you mean?"

"It's one thing if you don't support your brother, but now you're trying to sow discord between me and my cousin. What are you up to?"

“You’re not even as good as Jiang Luan. If it were Xiao Luan, she would definitely stand on her brother’s side.”

"Look at you, you've only been the Princess of Liang for a short time and you're already putting on airs?"

Jiang Zhi sneered: "Just now, brother said that cousin swallowed mother's dowry all by herself. I want to ask, brother, have you ever calculated the money you stole from cousin?"

"Does my brother think a lowly woman from a brothel is more important than us, his family?"

Jiang Shuyue was slightly taken aback, then angrily asked, "Who gave my mother's dowry to a woman in a brothel?"

"Besides, I have absolutely no connection with those women from the brothel."

Jiang Zhi rolled her eyes at him and walked up to Lu Nianqiu.

"Cousin, you should go back and rest first."

Lu Nianqiu nodded. "Zhizhi, you absolutely must not give your aunt's things to outsiders."

"Don't worry, cousin! Leave it to Zhizhi."

After Jiang Zhi helped Lu Nianqiu into the inner room to lie down, he returned to the outer room.

Jiang Shuyue was unhappy because he didn't get any money today, and he also disliked Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi, with a calm expression, poured herself a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

She said coldly, "Brother, did you ever consider that Xiangyi is the top courtesan of Zuiyu Tower, and countless high-ranking officials and nobles in Yanjing have been fooling around with her every day? How could she be short of money?"

"Aren't you afraid she's deliberately setting you up? Trying to get your mother's dowry out of you? And ultimately harming you?"

"You fart!"

When Jiang Shuyue heard Jiang Zhi insult his beloved, he was instantly consumed by rage.

He bit his cheek and said, "Xiangyi is completely innocent; she only sells her art, not her body."

"She was just a poor girl with a tragic fate. We fell in love at first sight, and we were destined to be together!"

"Stop trying to sow discord."

Jiang Zhi raised her eyes, "Is that really true? What a load of lies!"

"Just now you said you didn't know any courtesans, but now you say Xiangyi is a virgin."

“You are the eldest son of our Marquis of Zhenyuan, the eldest son of a marquis's family, yet you are ignorant and incompetent, spending your days indulging in brothels and wine.”

"You swindled all of your mother's money to please those lowly women in brothels. How can your mother rest in peace in heaven?"

Jiang Zhi's voice was filled with anger, showing no mercy to Jiang Shuyue whatsoever.

Jiang Shuyue immediately felt insulted.

He glared at Jiang Zhi and pointed at her, cursing, "Well, being the Princess Consort of Liang really changes you, daring to speak to your brother like that."

"I see now, you just want to embezzle your mother's last dowry."

"Now that my brother needs money, you're stopping him? You're such a jinx, you should just come back to Yanjing!"

As soon as Jiang Shuyue finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

He looked up at Jiang Zhi in front of him, feeling somewhat guilty.

Jiang Zhi gripped the teacup, his gaze fierce, and smashed it mercilessly to the ground.

With a sharp, piercing sound, Jiang Shuyue immediately sensed something was wrong.

He felt a little guilty.

"Little sister, let's stop arguing, okay? I really will use it to start a business."

He was afraid that Jiang Zhi would make a big fuss and that the Marquis of Zhenyuan would find out and punish him.

Jiang Zhi remained expressionless and looked at him, "I almost forgot, what would happen if Father found out about my brother and Xiangyi's affair?"

"A son of a marquis's family cheated his birth mother out of her dowry and used it to please prostitutes. It would be a laughing stock if word got out."

"I'm afraid Father will be ridiculed by his colleagues in court, and our Jiang family will become the laughingstock of the entire capital."

"Since you say I'm a jinx, then you'd better watch how your sister harms you."

Jiang Zhi bent down to pick up the broken porcelain shards from the ground, then turned and left.

Jiang Shuyue immediately chased after her anxiously, "Little sister, what are you doing?"

"Jiang Zhi, what do you want to do?"

“What on earth are you going to do?

At this moment, Lady Liu, lying on the bed, felt uneasy.

She got out of bed, casually wrapped herself in clothes, and calmly looked outside.
